Recovering Precious Metals

Platinum, palladium and rhodium are some of the most versatile metals in the world. They’re used in everything from cell phones to solar panels, from cancer treatments to computer components—and of course, catalytic converters.

 

They’re also some of the rarest metals in the world, found almost entirely in South Africa and Russia. When the flow of new metal from these volatile regions becomes constrained, we have to meet our supple needs in other ways—and recycling is the best way to do it.

About Elemental

“Working side by side with PGM has not only enhanced my understanding of what and how the converter works like it does; but has also given me resources to show the true value of my catalytic converters.

 

I have full trust in PGM with all steps of the buying/refining process, as a customer who has done both selling by piece and refining; they have both turned out as transparent as it can, and I have been satisfied with my results every time.
